Any notes about reservations are for my benefit.

What it is: a haunted house
Price:
Hours: 7pm-10pm
Additional Notes: I expect the usual jump scares. Not recommended for pregnant women or children under 12. Some rooms are able to be bypassed (in case they're too scary).

What it is: An hour long walking tour of downtown San Antonio with ghost stories
Price: $15
Hours: 9pm
Additional Notes: They provide ghost hunting equipment, which is a cool bonus. But their website hurts my eyes and they apparently don't know the difference between "hung" and "hanged." Discounts for groups of 10 or more.

What it is: primarily 2 caverns to explore, this place also has a giant maze, canopy challenge, and some other activities.
Price: Depends on what you do. Most individual activities are around $20.
Hours: 9am-5pm

Hey it's the MMT! Where do people want to go this year? The zoo is really good, but we went the last 2 years so maybe not this year. The River Tour is kinda meh. The Alamo is easy and right there.
For things we haven't done before, maybe we can visit the Japanese tea garden and an art museum? I dunno. Tell me what you think.

I'm sorry all, but I won't be doing the tour this year. I'm just not feeling well enough. I will be resting and wearing a mask when I make it into pax.
I hope you all get in some sightseeing though!
The Alamo is a short and easy walk down the street. thw river walk is touristy but I still enjoy walking the loop. The only time I went up tower of the americas it was cold cloudy and windy, so I can't say much about that. But the park surrounding it is a cool place to chill. I think the zoo here is really good. And the same bus that takes you there also goes by some museums. If you're on the road the Alamo is on but go the other way past the convention center, there are some strange and artsy shops to explore only a couple blocks up.
Adventure, have fun, and enjoy pax!
